Update: The problem recurred when I deleted a file (again) and trying to wipe global.db through the card reader actually crashed my husband's computer. However, I switched back to the 2GB card that the seller on eBay included with the DR800, and I have had no problems since. Indexing all my files only took a couple of seconds!
I am left with the conclusion that my 8GB card had some sort of problem--it was a Sandisk card that I got through a discount-of-the-day site (laalo.com) so perhaps I shouldn't be surprised. Either that, or maybe I did something wrong in setting up the card. Regardless, all is well now and I am very happy with this ereader!
